Looking to purchase a PLB, what would be best unit for occasional trips off sure?
I have the ACR rescue link. Hopefully I never get the opportunity to post a review on it! Pm Bryson. He used his and it saved his a$$. He inspired me to buy mine.

I agree on the ACR, personally I don’t want one of the other units that have text and other features because they require you to pay a monthly fee.

Make sure you get the ACR resqlink+. It floats where the same unit without the plus does not. Also make sure it is a current unit as the batteries are dated and only last I believe 5 years from the date. They are almost as much to replace as the unit is to buy.

I was aboard the Good Sam boat during this rescue with a Resqlink attached to my belt. The same unit this crew used to save themselves. I hope that’s the most detailed product review I ever have to give. Also, very pleased with https://airseasafety.net/ and the service they provided me last year with changing my PLB battery, seals and pressure testing. Much cheaper than buying a new unit.
